Planning a lift and re-lay job in Milford Haven

In and around Milford Haven, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.

Hilly streets in much of Wales mean many drives slope, which shapes the falls, the edging and the water route.

What does a lift and re-lay job involve?

It is also the way to change a layout, add drainage or a recessed cover, or raise or lower a drive, without buying new blocks. A small allowance of new blocks is usually needed for breakages and new cuts.

  • Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
  • New screeded laying course
  • Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
  • Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
  • Lifting, cleaning and stacking

Lift and re-lay in Milford Haven: questions

Why does block paving sink?

Most dips come from a thin or poorly compacted sub-base, too much sand under the blocks, failed edging, or water washing material out from a broken drain.

Yes. We cover Milford Haven and the places around it, including Pembroke Dock and Haverfordwest, and the rest of Dyfed.

Can you repair block paving in Milford Haven without replacing it?
